Support for ghostscript 8.60 (released in 2007) has been removed. The
oldest supported version of ghostscript is now 9.0 (released in 2010).

(Allows removing some conditional paths and unifying the version checks
to a single place, as we previously needed to handle gs<9 differently
from gs>=9.)

Extracted from #9639.
